    This is who will determine the next president:

    Putin, okay, we get it, democracy has a couple small flaws

    Why would anyone be stupid enough to take video of themselves destroying ballots?
    What? To go home and show your friends? To beat off to?

    Anyone who actually buys this shit (Trump, MAGAs) is brain-dead.

    I mean, I get why the video was made, to give Trump more reason to bitch when he loses, but it never continues to frighten me that there are people out there who will take this as something that really took place.

    Conservatives are deadly-level stupid.

    Conservatives hate science, oppose education, ban healthcare, burn books, oppress vulnerable people and believe absolutely anything that makes them angry. Their gullibility and narcissism makes them a national security nightmare.

    Conservatism has always been the culmination of humanity’s worst traits. If conservatives are not forcibly regulated, they will oppress or kill every innocent person on earth.

      You have it all wrong. Conservatives don’t hate or dislike these things. They just dislike it when the people they hate have these things.

      If you’re poor or brown you are exactly the type of person conservatives hate and they want to take everything away from you so you suffer.

      These are the types of people that want to bring slavery back.

      Human suffering is their hobby.

    Information for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty:

    Wiki: mixed - Additional considerations apply to the use of Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL). RFE/RL should be used cautiously, if at all, for reporting published from the 1950s to the early 1970s, when RFE/RL had a documented relationship with the CIA. RFE/RL may be biased in some subject areas (particularly through omission of relevant, countervailing facts), and in those areas, it should be attributed in the article body. There is no consensus as to what subject areas require attribution. The scope of topics requiring attribution of RFE/RL should be decided on a case-by-case basis.

    Radio free Europe is CIA propaganda. I wish you would use a better source for this. This one appears to be true but I just do not like or trust this source at all.

      Well I came to complain about the same thing, sort of. Just - why is this not all over corporate news since trumps plan is twofold; win the election or steal the election. russia is once again behind both.

        You can’t gain any useful or truthful information about foreign powers or election interference from the CIA. Their whole goal is literally propaganda to make Americans mistrust or hate other countries.
